The View Hosts 102 Liberal Guests, Zero Conservatives in 2025

ABC News program "The View" has faced criticism for featuring an overwhelmingly left-leaning guest list in 2025, with a Media Research Center study revealing 102 liberal guests and zero conservatives since January 6. The guests included numerous Democratic politicians such as President Donald Trump’s opponents, as well as liberal celebrities, journalists, and activists. Despite reports that ABC aimed to balance the show's political discourse after Trump's 2024 election victory, the study found no right-leaning guests throughout the year so far. Critics argue the show has abandoned its founding principle of showcasing diverse perspectives, instead functioning as a platform pushing Democratic Party agendas. The lone exception was former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, identified as a moderate conservative guest. Media watchdogs call on ABC to reevaluate the show's direction to restore balance in future seasons.
